The reason there is a small articulate segment between thorax and abdomen is that this is how ants are built in real life. This segment - called the "petiole" (and an additional one called the "postpetiole" in some species) allows for a larger range of movement of the thorax - which also is reflected in this model. Also, worker ants are generally considered females or sexless (in difference to the winged males - the drones), so it should be "her" and not "him" ;)
oh, that's really interesting! I'll try (although i'll probably forget haha) to remember that distinction when they release another set of ants! Hopefully fire ants or something!
Great video! keep up the good work:)
Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Will definitely keep showcasing these amazing capsule toys!
